a coincidence of bone and light approaching


small blue flames heat coffee
your shadow mine
across this table
external sounds diminish
as the window darkens
your shadow on the table mine
cups
a blue pot
the sounds of spoons on porcelain
your bracelet reflects light
we lift cups sometimes simultaneously
you silence the radio
your finger elongates
drops of spilled water on polished wood
you talk
pause
your teeth visible
shaded behind painted lips
you me in this high room
the heads of others
and objects below
the syllables of your laughter
now in this room
the syllables of your laughter
yes
but the shape of
the curve of
your spine
reminds
Female face
